“I started this job a few months ago. For years I worked in the hospitality industry, but I got tired of giving people food and alcohol in exchange for money.  It’s been so nice for me to help someone in a more human way.  For Nico, I assist with everything apart from her medical issues.  It involves a lot of guessing.  I try to put myself in her situation and ask how I’d like it.  Calm is important.  I always stay very calm.  We obviously can’t have crazy long conversations, but it’s kinda enough.  I’m more of an energy person anyway.  The crazy thing is that Nico’s exactly twice my age.  She’s forty-six and I’m twenty-three, which also happens to be the age when she was first diagnosed.  Back then she was so similar to me.  We both travelled the world.  We both loved freedom, and beach time, and gypsy life, and small rebellions.  And now here we are, sitting in the sun, in the exact same place, but for two different reasons.” (Berlin, Germany)

The Dark Side of INFP

Is it just me or are a lot of INFP traits BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) traits as well? Depends on the type on INFP I guess, but the emotional sensitivity is definitely a personality disorder. Being gullible, feeling worthless, being so sensitive that you get hurt easily, feeling a lack of identity.

To those INFPs out there suffering with intense emotions and chaos… just remember that someone is thinking of you. And is possibly in the same boat. 

Be kind to yourselves.

Sensitivity, emotional or physical, is NOT a personality disorder! There are now words for how sick I am of this trend of everything becoming a disorder in people’s opinion. The whole definition of BPD is ridiculous - I’m not saying you don’t have mental problems if you do something as extreme as, for example, threaten to kill someone if they leave you, but have you read the official symptom list of BPD? It consists of RANDOM, GENERAL things like “Prone to impulsive behaviour” or “intense emotions”. According to this, every high Fi-user or F-dom or Se-user apparently has BPD. That’s not science, it’s fortune-telling, only worse, because people actually study this nonsense and get a licence to “treat” people, and people believe this is actually science. Official psychology is a joke, only it’s not funny.

Suffering from in this world because you are emotionally sensitive is due to this world being hell and not because there’s something wrong with you. This is how internalised hate of sensitivity (or anything else that isn’t desirable according to the system) perpetuates itself - people are aware that they are different and they conclude that there must be something wrong with them, and then they go and tell others who feel the same that there’s something wrong with them too! “Be kind to yourselves” - Well, yes, please do that! Calling your natural way of being a personality disorder, calling your whole personality type a disorder is obviously not kind! Don’t get me wrong, I know self-hate, I know very well what it’s like to have internalised toxic beliefs about myself. But the worst you can do to yourself and other people who feel similarly is to spread self-hate with posts like these. Learn about your nature, your personality, and realise that there’s nothing wrong with you! There’s something very wrong with this society, because it has taught you these lies.

I’m going to repeat this forever:

Sensitivity is not a disorder/weakness/bad thing

Intense emotions are not a disorder/weakness/bad thing

Being emotionally overwhelmed is not a disorder/weakness/bad thing

Writing this is like explaining to people that breathing is not a disorder. Humanity is so obsessed with killing and corrupting everything natural that most people aren’t even aware of how unnatural they have become and this fear/demonisation of feelings is one of the biggest aspects of it.

There actually is such a thing as High Sensitivity, which means being emotionally and physically sensitive - and it’s completely normal! You can learn about it here. (all mbti types can be highly sensitive, though it’s more common in introverts - roughly 70% introverts, 30% extroverts). And whether or not you’re highly sensitive or just sensitive, it’s fucking normal! What’s not normal is this trend to think you’re having a disorder because of not being the way society wants you to be!
